Care and Maintenance (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
Congratulations: You have selected the most durable refinishing system available in the country. Glas-Tech 9000 has been used in over 4 million successful applications nationwide, and by following the guidelines listed below, you will be assured many years of trouble free service. Please DO NOT use this surface for _24_hours (at room temperature). Although the refinished surface can be put back into full use after this time, the surface will actually require up to 90 days to completely cure. Please observe the following:
1. During the refinishing process, special masking tape was used which will protect other surfaces during the drying and curing, but which can be easily removed by you. Remove this making after the initial downtime, but within 1 week after the designated down time masking carefully and slowly..Care should be taken when removing the masking from wallpaper, or painted surfaces, so remove the masking carefully and slowly.
2. Clean the finish regularly with soap and a sponge (this is called surface conditioning). PLEASE NOTE: All new refinished surfaces will have some surface dust, which will have settled into the new surface. Do not be alarmed; because the surface is still within its long term cure period, normal use and regular cleaning will remove all minor surface dust marks.
3. When removing the masking from around the drain area, be careful not to break the seal around the drain shoe. Any glaze that is left on the surface of the drain shoe can be carefully removed with a razor blade or knife.
4. DO NOT lay soap, bottles, or any other objects on the finished surface.
5. Be sure that your faucet taps are dry and not dripping after using the fixture, and be sure to towel dry the refinished surface after each use.
LONG TERM CARE
1. DO NOT use any abrasive cleaners on or near the refinished surface. Your new; glossy finish is easily cleaned with any mild liquid cleaner, and should be cleaned after each use. In general, any cleaner approved for use on acrylic surfaces is okay to use.
2. DO NOT use any abrasive scrubbing pads, such as scotchbrite or any similar scrubbing pad, as this will scratch the new surface.
3. DO NOT drop sharp or heavy objects on the finish, which will cause it to chip. Contact Omega Porcelain & Fiberglass immediately for repairs if this should occur. Failure to contact your refinisher in a timely manner can result in further damage.
4. The owner and user, to protect the new surface must properly maintain faucets. Leaky faucets will erode the new finish, causing it to crack and wear out prematurely, and voiding the guarantee.
5. Destruction of the finish may occur through improper use of acid bearing compounds, such as drain openers or tile grout cleaners. All chemicals must be kept away from the finish. These chemicals include, but are not limited to, cosmetics, hair dyes, and perfumes, which may stain or otherwise mark the finish. Introduction of any of these chemicals onto the finish, would be considered neglect and void the guarantee.
6. DO NO use a rubber mat. Most mats will produce a reaction with the new surface when subjected to hot water. Omega Porcelain & Fiberglass carries a full line of Sure-step Permanent Safety Mats, which will give years of trouble-free services. These mats are guaranteed, ask Omega Porcelain & Fiberglass for details.
7. DO NOT use any type of suction cup devices on the new finish. No shoes or flip flops on painted surface, it may tear coating.
REMEMBER, if you treat your new surface with respect, clean it regularly, and follow the above guidelines, your fixture will stay shiny and bright, and give you many years of trouble-free service.
